One option, but delicious

Delicious mushroom casserole, vegetarian on the menu but easily made vegan. Really high quality.

Pros: Amazing food

Cons: Only one option

Very nice vegetarian dishes

Staff was very friendly and the food was exceptional. Can be easily made vegan when just leaving out the sour cream. Portion was good, and I'm quite a big eater so not easily satisfied ;)
Yes they sell whale steak, next to reindeer and several kinds of fish, but that's the case in most restaurants in Bergen. If you don't want to see that on a menu, don't go out for dinner in Norway.

Pros: Kind and accommodating staff, Delicious vegetarian food, easily transformed, Portion size

Cons: Menu is still focused on meat and fish

Tasty but only one option!

The squash with pearl barley was tasty! It is just a shame there is only one vegan option on the menu. It is a nice restaurant and relaxed vibe.

Very meaty

Honestly this place probably shouldn't be on Happy Cow. They sell minke whale steak. But friends wanted Norwegian fish so I went and had a vegan cabbage roll type of dish, which was actually delicious. Kudos I guess for the effort.
I also had duck salad without the duck because they only had the one vegan option.

Pros: The one vegan dish was very good, Service was good, Nice place

Cons: Not enough vegan options , Probably doesn't belong on Happy Cow

Not a lot of choice

The place seems nice at first sight but there was only one vegan choice : a vegetables stew (sold as a starter or small dish), and one vegetarian : a cheese platter but when we asked the cheese platter wasn't available (it was friday and not very late) so it's not possible for a vegetarian or vegan to have a totally nourishing meal.

Pros: Not much choice

Cons: Nice decor
